The AI bubble isn't immune to basic realities of economics. Eventually the bubble pops, and prices come back down; they can't keep getting investment for demand that doesn't exist. Analysts think that will be as long as two years, so take good care of your stuff for at least that long. And as a silver lining for replacing anything that does break, there ought to be more refurb or used parts available in the near term, since Microsoft made a bunch of people upgrade their perfectly usable machines due to Windows 11 and TPM 2.0 requirements.

    When the AI bubble pops, it'll screw the economy. The rich will be fine. The rest of us will be crouched naked in a puddle of piss, weeping and eating worms. We'll look back fondly to the days of the bubble, when we had shoes.
